[@ryujinjakka4518]

Can we hit 1000 subs for no reason the guardian system can only do so much. I put sports scramble on and let my dad try it. The poor guardian never stood a chance. Dear old dad ran right after that tennis ball in a glorious effort to hit it and while he did fine in the virtual world, he jumped into a few of our nice chairs and broke them as he did a sideways tackle in an effort to hit dat ball.

Imagine being able to use the force in Vader immortal with your hands that would be awesome

[@ayaanfaizi545]

Captain_hook11 yooooo

[@ericbazinga]

I'd love that. I was thinking they could implement a mixed tracking solution where you had a controller in one hand (which would handle movement and your lightsaber), and your other, tracked hand would handle force powers and maybe some other stuff like climbing.

[@hoi1010]

Imagine force choking someone with your hand dope asf

[@SynZ777]

Even though it's in beta, it will never be up to that standard. There will always be latency, your hands can never cross each other, and you have to hold your hands in front of the headset.

[@hoi1010]

Jake D it'll get better over time naturally with the programming itself the more you use it the less latency it'll become and the natural progression of technology over time it'll become better remember it's a new program

I really hope tilt brush will get the free hand tracking update! Drawing just with your fingertips would be magical!

[@dennisrovik2357]

I think This list is just a placeholder. why would anyone in their right mind want hand tracking in beat Saber? It’s way more immersive When you’re holding something in your hands. Plus the hand tracking is way less reliable than the controllers, so it would be Almodóvar impossible to Do things such as Expert+ Secondly, rec room. REC room doesn’t Even support pointing gestures. To Point, you need to press the B/y button, it doesn’t let you Do it with grip. Also, the hands there are frickin mittens.

[@MrHoodlin]

Expert+ is cancer. You're no longer playing the game, and instead are moving your wrists to hit blocks that you can't see, but you memorized are there.

[@dennisrovik2357]

Sounds just like something someone who can’t do expert+ would say

[@Acers2K]

maybe its meant for ppl that want to be crab ppl. Claws as hands? why not i guess, or imagine you are wolverine? :D

[@Gethan_Erman]

I don’t think all of those games showed in the trailer for hand tracking are gonna have hand tracking, I think they are just games that happened to be there

[@ayaUwU]

It says "get started with hand tracking" I'm pretty sure these will have some hand tracking capabilities

[@Gethan_Erman]

Itay K They could’ve put those there because they didn’t want to put just elixir

[@Clara_Page]

maybe but there are some really odd choices in there, Personally if i was throwing a few thumbnails in there to make it look fuller I would choose likely games. I could seen beat saber getting a controller free punch mode or something especially now that oculus owns it. As for Orbus I hope it does get a hand tracking control scheme... most of all though I want Altspace to support hand tracking

[@Gethan_Erman]

Clara Page yeah I just don’t see a reason for beat saber to have hand tracking in the base game since you don’t even really have hands so there would be no real reason. VRchat would also be a good game to get Hand Tracking

[@Clara_Page]

@@Gethan_Erman I agree plus the hand tracking area isn't great so it would be severely limiting to normal play modes. There is no excuse any social apps not to support it (at least to some degree) it it would be a killer feature

[@m3ng252]

I think you might be on to something with the idea of some games using just one controller .. for a fishing pole or sword and tracking the other hand for gestures, picking stuff up and so on..

[@brendethedev2858]

sadly its not possible to track hands and the controllers. the cameras exposure gets pumped way up for hand tracking.

[@spicytull]

I wonder if it will be able to track one hand and one controller or if it is an either/or situation, and if the tracking will be able to track the hands while wearing a knuckles controller... also, how will the hand tracking operate for users with finger amputations...

[@DJ_Sonic09]

That's not possible due to the cameras needing to be on different exposures for the hand tracking compared to the controllers

[@autopilot_vr9706]

Beat saber is bout to get hecka weird with hand tracking

[@held0815junior]

I hope the Wizards will get a hand Tracking support.

[@bem4450]

I have a friend that’s deaf and he plays on the oculus quest with me. So being able to do sign language in the game would be great instead of having to type everything out

[@MaxPSVR]

Sign language in VR. Oh dam my mind just exploded with ideas. I’m going to learn sign language just so I can setup a sign language support group in alt space

[@FuNDe]

So, the problem with hand tracking in games is that you can’t walk. Last time I checked I don’t have a joystick on my hands, so walking is immediately ruled out. Unless you assign certain gestures as inputs, which would be really weird. Moving your arms back and forth could also be problematic sine the cameras on the quest don’t exactly track everything. A way to work around this would maybe be a weird looking glove of sorts, which includes a joystick. What do you think?

[@rlander1365]

Thanks for all the great content

[@Connerbigman]

Well this would be great but I try to enter the games with hand tracking and it doesn't let me so I'm sad bc I want to use it so badly

[@scottygg8550]

all they need to do is allow vrchat to use this and were set.

[@Symphonio]

I love how you used xenoblade chronicles for the background music :)

[@plushyproduct1ons]

What if they mix both controller and hand tracking?

[@LaurenWeinstein]

I got the update last night. The hand tracking is very impressive. What surprised me most was that I anticipated some sort of training sequence for the functionality to learn your hands -- nope, when I activated the hands mode the hands just appeared and were tracking fine immediately. Of course if you move them out of camera range or occlude them with each other they vanish, but there was no lag that I noticed.

[@kudojay1840]

I hope they make a bluetooth joystick attachment strap for your hands so you can move forward in games

[@WishfulGamer]

ooooh nice

[@Klaasvaneenshonie]

Just got around using the hand tracking feature, while it is only the menu is worked flawless for me!

[@spicywaylon6799]

I can’t find elixir any information about it?

[@jtkraemer2357]

PLEASE READ!!! Hand tracking just came out on my oculus quest. All games look like their available as they all show up in ur library even if u r in hand tracking mode. However once you CLICK it, it says it does not support hand tracking. So in the hand tracking video of the person scrolling thru apps like beat saber, it does not mean beat saber will support it it just means she owns that game I’m general.

[@birdielegs8530]

I can see games utilizing the left controller for movement some other controls and only hand tracking for your right hand for more delicate interactions

[@HCsAnimatedUniverse]

If vrchat wont work with hamd tracking that's gonna be a huge disappointment.

[@mcgeeb2885]

One of the devs said it would require "A Lot" of work on the user interface just to get it to work. That's if they decide to use it and figure out how to do locomotion without controllers among one of the issues and what to do with your hands when your have them to your side or lap not in the fov. If they pull it off, it will be a long time away. They are working on other projects at this time that are much bigger.

[@RR-op9xz]

Thrill of the fight absolutely needs hand tracking, it just makes sense.

[@codyvidito]

i feel like you are under estimating the hand tracking. It tracks 24 points if i'm not mistaken. It uses gestures. Thus the button presses could be emulated by movements of your fingers

[@tomar5e115]

Hand tracking would be best in a racing sim, providing you already have a wheel. I always found it immersion breaking when you take your hands off the wheel and they are still there in the game

[@zielaz3714]

Walking without a controller could be done by detection of running motions with your hands. When you run, you swing your hands, so that could be the first step.

[@Robert-jg4po]

Any poker game on the quest would greatly benefit from the hand tracking.

[@ayaanfaizi545]

How would you move in vr chat and rec room

[@kevinrichards113]

Thanks for the update and speculation! Much appreciated!

[@SjaakSchulteis]

Your last remark, that there should be a combination or at least that the software can recognize within the application that you are using only hands or controllers. In Beatsaber it would be great if you could use some plastic lightsabers, which I saw in a shop the other day and hold these instead of the controllers. Boxing games are much better without controllers. And racing games could or should be done with a replacement steeringwheel. In short, it should be possible that the handtracking recognizes you holding a tool in your hand and react upon it.

[@rombo270510]

thats the shit! you're right! i can also imagine controller / guesture combos in future. like putting your controller as a pistol into a holster for some non aggressive interactions or puzzles with hands only.

[@parrotgaming5465]

Awesome video! I wonder how hand tracking will be with no haptic feedback.

[@deconstructingnarcissism3062]

I could see handtracking being the standard in vr if it wasnt for the problem of moving around in vr but Im picking up my quest tomorrow so we shall see how amazing it is!!!

[@fedzalicious]

Did you read the fine print in the last few seconds of the reveal video? "Rendering- directional only". The sdk hasn't even been released yet.

[@nialltracey2599]

Oculus said ages ago that it's a choice of 2 controllers or 2 hands -- you can't have one of each. The optical hand tracking also won't work well at all if you're wearing knuckle-style straps as the controllers will obscure the headset's view of your hands.

[@polytrauma101]

Sign language is not going to be possible as long as the hands become hidden as soon as they overlap just in the slightest. But maybe there will be options to be less restrictive about it, like with leap motion.

[@TheHolyBaker]

Do you ever think about playing quest with your subscribers?

[@WishfulGamer]

join the Discord :) discord.gg/7SNSVS

[@sskenth]

Great news and great video! So a lot of the games involving locomotion can work with hand tracking by simply having only one hand tracked while the other hand holds a controller. Best of both worlds and could potentially work really well. :)

[@GrumpBurger]

Agreed. I'm excited for games devs to start coming with creative solutions and possibly combining said two worlds.

[@TayoEXE]

@@GrumpBurger That's why I want to get my hands on the SDK next week!

[@shiftednrifted]

as of right now the quest can only track one or the other; not both simultaneously

[@GrumpBurger]

@@shiftednrifted Ooh well that differs a lot then. Thanks for the info. Tried it yourself?

[@TayoEXE]

@@shiftednrifted Is that the case for the SDK too? In the Oculus SDK in Unity, there are anchors (the positional "invisible objects" for the controllers), so depending on the SDK, you could theoretically replace one with the other as a dev. Well, I'm not sure of course since I haven't seen it yet, so can't really claim anything yet actually.

[@projectD1S]

Here's to hoping The Wizard becomes hand tracking. I know it needs controllers for movement, but with how interesting the casting is I can't help but be interested

[@shiftednrifted]

as of right now, the quest cannot tract both the touch controllers and the hands - one or the other

[@TheBobist]

Just thought I should let you guys know that you can play any side loaded non vr games using hands tracking. I play Geometry Dash and Fruit Ninja and it's not bad. It will mostly work well with games that require you to use one finger to tap or swipe

[@Halo44327]

Some games that could be potentially interesting additions would be Gun Club VR because you do not need to "move" necessarily. Aside from the Sandbox mode you are pretty much in position. Vader Immortal would be so cool. Just think of doing the force motion and it works?

[@krakenchan]

The guy at the end was like wtf you had me as a virtual janitor I'm your boss!

[@Whatsupbruther]

Apollo 11 is more so a job simulator for space. There are recorded videos from actual space farers but you also dock food shipments and and things like that. Plus you can go on space walks too so that is awesome.

[@theflash6755]

How would you run with hand tracking then??? Like in rec room or Vader imortal

[@Linokai1]

The Under Presents would be good for this w the scheme they use for teleporting in that game. Maybe games later on will use something similar for movement w hand tracking....

[@Dig_Duke_SFM]

To solve movement with only hand tracking - a virtual joystick that you grab and manipulate with your hands.

[@Juice-qw5dt]

this is cool but i need something to grip onto because just waving and pointing into the air is a bit awkward to me

[@devanlaczko]

I feel like Beat Saber would be an unrealistic game to support hand tracking as the Quest struggles to find your hands unless they are directly in front of the cameras whereas Touch controllers have a lot of sensors to calculate position and movement even if the cameras can’t see them as clearly.

Many sign language gestures need both hands overlapping each other and when hands overlap with the hand tracking they disappear. In my opinion is pretty much unlikely that hand tracking will be used for sign language. :/

The first thing that came to mind was can they provide a projected keyboard onto a real table to provide a physical keyboard. Then I wouldn't need a pc.

Locomotion, shooting, changing weapons, etc, could all be handled with different gestures. Remember when pinch zoom blew our collective minds? Think that, but in 6dof.

With how the hand tracking is currently, I don't see how half these games could use it. If you move slightly too fast, move your hands too far from your head, your hands just disappear. Even just holding up your hands in certain positions will have them lose tracking.
